Is it a Win32 app, a Win16 app, or a DOS app?  BCB only does Win32.
(BCB can do a command-line Win32 app, but that's not the same thing as
a DOS app.)

When I ported my Win32/OWL app from BC++ 5.02 or BCB 6.0, I rewrote the
entire GUI using BCB's VCL.  I considered OWLNext, but decided I wanted
the RAD capabilities and readily available third-party libraries that I
got with VCL.  There was no automated support for this conversion and
it was a fair amount of work, but I'm happy with the result.
